Default Life after people
Life After People from Channel4.com

Did anyone see it last night? I thought certain aspects looked quite appealing! The fact that no humans would include no me, could be a problem, but hey.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, as did Mr D, just a shame we wouldnt be there to see it, now perhaps if it were all non GYO'ers that disappeared from the face of the planet it may be a bit more like it for us all!

Lol Yo! I think it would have to be poison or disease, with the antidote / cure only to be found by getting your hands dirty on the veg plot! Dunno how we'd go about making it tho, anyone any ideas?

Ideally glyphosate based then as it becomes inert on contact with soil (debatable I know).

I thought there may be quite similiar results if the population was reduced considerably.

Found it strangely comforting that after 1000 years, there would be no appreciable traces of humankind at all.... no idea why it made me feel like that.
